With summer in full swing, we are not doing full Tot School. I still hope to do an official Tot School post every other week, but thought I would do something different this week. I have created some fun Busy Bags for Super Tot and thought I would share them with you. They are perfect for car or plane trips, Dr.'s visits, or any other time you want a simple To Go Activity. I've been looking for basic, clear front pencil cases for a few months and have been unable to find them. I wanted the clear front so they would be more appealing to Super Tot. I finally found these for $1/ea at Walmart. They were back with their art supplies, rather than in the Back To School section. I was thrilled to find them and purchased 12. They are perfect for our Toddler Busy Bags! These Busy Bags are easy to grab and take all or just a few. They will easily fit into a binder, diaper bag or tote. I have 11 made up so far and will be doing an I Spy bag for the 12th. Here are my current Busy Bags: Family Memory / matching game: Small notebook, stickers & colored pencils: Finger puppets: Lacing cards w/ laces: Pipe cleaners: Small locker-size white board, marker & eraser: Paint swatches w/ matching paper clips: Small pegboards w/ pegs: Clothes pin shape matching: Lauri foam disc puzzles: Fish sorting: (these are foam fish w/ sorting mats I made to sort by color & number) I am using a little plastic shoebox to store the Busy Bags when we are not using them.
